Surprisingly short battery balancing period (still)

[gwatuk]

Just over a year ago I posted with the same title as this one (the balancing period then was 8 minutes).
Our car (SE SR) is now 16 months old and has almost always been charged with a granny charger.
The balancing period has always been less than 10 minutes.
Here's the latest:

I think this indicates that the battery is in good condition and it seems to me that slow charging is good for it. (Even though it is sometimes a bit inconvenient )

Probably varies with how long between balances.

@gwatuk, I've just re-read you original thread and no-one answered your question about detecting the end of balancing.

With my Trophy, the end of balancing can be sent when the charge port lights stop being green.

In the app, the end of balancing can be seen when the EV Management page shows 'Start Charging' in place of 'Finish Charging'.

Note that when the car reaches its set battery level, interrupting the charging appears to stop the balancing (based on my experience). I suspect this may include even minor interruptions.

Have you tried charging without having your sensor or any additional units in the circuit?
